Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías is the 53rd and current President of Venezuela. As the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, Chávez promotes democratic socialism across the world, Latin American integration, and anti-imperialism. He is a friend to the downtrodden, a comfort to the widow and the orphan, and a scourge to the yankee aggressor. He enjoys baseball, dialectic materialism, military parades, and surfing.
